Evaluation from a human perspective in the chapter on design and evaluation of DLs

Table 1. Human-Centered Design and Evaluation Questions

Designers Evaluators

Who are the users? Who is impacted?

Who are the potential users? Who and what may influence impact?

What are the common needs? What are the indicators of impact?

How can those needs be mapped onto tasks? How can indicators be measured?

How will the new system change needs (and tasks)? How do impacts influence future generations and systems?

 

2. DL Presentations

Gary G., Kevin

3. Design and Interfaces for DLs

Like Evaluation, objects on one side and people on the other….

What are the entities? Attributes? Keys?

Overviews

Previews

Can we (must we) develop bundles?
